"Huarong?" When Zhang Ren heard this, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and his expression became a little frightened, and he muttered to himself: "It's normal to approach from the Yangtze River, but how can you attack Huarong, this is not a corresponding force at all, unless ......"

After many years on the battlefield, he has a keen sense of touch.

His instincts told him that something was wrong.

"Youtu!" He hurriedly waved his hand.

"In!"

The two guards on the left and right hurriedly opened a map.

Zhang Ren's sharp eyes stared directly at the points on the map, these points drawn by them were the troop layout of his Dongzhou Army, extending from the county seat of Gong'an, with a semicircular arc.

"Huarong is lost, there is a gap in the left flank front, this is nothing, even if the Jingzhou army has the strength to attack, it is impossible for them to break through my defense line, unless they can ...... in a row" He pointed his finger at a few points, thought about it for a while, and became a little panicked.

"Someone!"

"In!"

"Immediately scout the horses, go and find out the situation of Erlong Mountain, Baihejian, and Shimu River!" Zhang Ren said in a low voice: "Let the battalions release the scouts twenty miles away, there must be the most accurate information!" ”

"No!"

A lieutenant will be quickly arranged.

"Immediately pass on my military order, assemble!" After assigning the task, Zhang Ren immediately beat the drum to gather troops.

"Yes!"

The Dongzhou Army quickly moved.

……

Yangtze.

On the deck of a building ship.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun stood side by side, the warship under their feet riding the wind and waves, and themselves, looking up ahead.

"Why did the lord suddenly agree to cooperate with the shepherd?"

Zhang Yun was a little puzzled.

After he received the military order, he couldn't figure it out, Jingzhou fell to today's situation, the most important thing is that Xiangyang was broken by the pastoral army, otherwise no matter how strong the Yizhou army is, it will not be able to open the situation.

"I don't know!"

Cai Mao smiled bitterly, he thought for a while, and said: "But whether it is the lord or Kuai Zirou, they are all good scheming people in the world, if it is not for great interests, they will not cooperate with our enemies at this time!" ”

"Report to the Metropolitan Governor, General Huang Zu has led the army to break through Huarong!"

A scout came up to give a report.

"Got it!"

Cai Mao waved his hand and let the scout leave, before he said to Zhang Yun: "We are going to speed up, this time the lord even sent Huang Zu's troops south, if we can't be ashamed, I'm afraid we will be looked down upon in the future!" ”

"Such a great opportunity, just let them see the strength of our Jingzhou Erlang!"

Zhang Yun nodded.

"The soldiers are divided into two ways, I bypassed the Yangtze River and went straight to the back of the public security, you are facing the public security after all!"

"Good!"

………………

Two hours later.

The county seat of public security.

Zhang Ren gathered all the generals under his command to come to the council, and while discussing, he was waiting for news, and after discussing for a long time, he finally came back.

"Report to the lord, the scouts found that more than 20 miles on the east side of Erlong Mountain, there are traces of the Jingzhou army camping!"

"Lord, Baihejian has been attacked, our army was caught off guard, and was repelled several miles away, although the troops have not lost much, but now they have lost control of Baihejian!"

The news came in two.

The two pieces of news made Zhang Ren confirm his guess, and sure enough, someone was plotting against him, this kind of troop transfer was by no means small, he almost wanted to launch it at the same time, and wanted to eat the rhythm of the Dongzhou Army in one go.

"General, if they dare to provoke, then we will fight!"

A young lieutenant stood up and asked for his life.

"Yes!"

"Fight!"

"Our sons and daughters of the Dongzhou Army are not afraid of them!"

"It's just a group of defeated generals, what's there to be afraid of!"

The generals said indignantly.

They are the attacking side, although last year's battle was a little harder, but they have never lost the battle with the Jingzhou army, so they are not afraid of the attack of the Jingzhou army, and they are willing to fight hard.

"Don't fight!"

After Zhang Ren thought about it carefully, he was unusual, and said indifferently: "Pass on my military order, all departments will retreat, and the whole army will withdraw to Jingzhou City, and you can't hold it!" ”

He is a military general on the battlefield.

For the battlefield, he is very sensitive.

Intuition told him that the attack of the Jingzhou army was a bit abnormal, and the more abnormal things were, the more cautious he had to be, and it was related to the life and death of tens of thousands of soldiers, so he had to be cautious.

"Withdraw?"

"Why?"

"If we haven't started fighting now, we will withdraw, and the soldiers will inevitably shake their hearts!"

The generals were puzzled, and looked at Zhang Ren with puzzled eyes.

"I said withdraw!"

Zhang Ren stood up, his finger pointed at the captains and Sima, and said coldly: "It's because I can't speak well, or do you want to rebel!" ”

"The last general will not dare!"

The generals looked solemn and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

Zhang Ren was in the Dongzhou army and was quite majestic.

"Withdraw immediately!"

Zhang Ren said coldly: "Today, all the soldiers must withdraw from the original defensive camp, the main force must withdraw from the public security, march overnight, and before dawn tomorrow, they must return to Jingzhou City, understand!" ”

"Understood!"

At this time, the generals immediately replied quickly and quickly.

…………………………

"Ran away?"

In the evening, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun led their troops into the county seat of Gong'an, but all they were left with were vacant camps.

"They ran away without even fighting head-on?"

Zhang Yun looked at these empty camps and was a little incredulous.

"Because of this, we have to be more careful with this Zhang Ren!" Cai Mao didn't have a little joy, but a little more solemn look: "Zhang Ren's reaction is too fast, if he runs slower, he will inevitably be entangled by us, and even if he wants to run, he will have to pay the price, but now, he should not fight at all, but has kept all their main forces!" ”

"What are we going to do?"

Zhang Yun asked.

"Chase!"

Cai Mao ordered: "This time, we will bite him to the death!" ”

"Yes!"

The generals commanded.

The warships opened the way, and the foot soldiers followed, and the main army of Jingzhou began to advance towards Jingzhou City.

…………

When the sun is shining, Nagasaka slope.

"Zhang Ren doesn't engage in the battle, and the whole army retreats?" When Huang Zhong and Chen Gong heard the news, they glanced at each other, and they could see that there was a cautious look in each other's eyes.

"This Zhang Ren is not simple!"

Chen Gong said faintly.

"The response is really fast!" Huang Zhong nodded: "If it weren't for our quick arrangement, if we wanted to rely on the Jingzhou army to force them, it would really be a capsized boat in the gutter and let them withdraw smoothly!" ”

"Hurry up!"

Chen Gong thought for a while and said: "Zhang Ren is not easy to deal with, it is difficult to guarantee that he can exploit any loopholes, so we have to be completely prepared, and we can't leave a gap for him!" ”

"I'll arrange it!"

Huang Zhong said: "But all the people sent by Zhang Ren are detained, from Dangyang to Maicheng, and even the south bank of the river is also stationed with troops, this time, you can't let him run!" ”

…………………………

Two days later, Jingzhou City.

Zhang Ren stood on the head of Jingzhou City, his eyes looked around, the scenery was as charming as ever, but he seemed to see thousands of troops approaching.

"It's so quiet!"

Zhang Ren said suddenly.

"General, we've released the scouts, and there should be news soon!" The lieutenant replied.

"The people sent to ask for help from the shepherds, there is no news at all?"

Zhang Ren thought about it and suddenly asked.

"Nope!"

The lieutenant replied.

"Something must be wrong!"

Zhang Rendao: "Pass on my military order, the city gates are closed on all sides, all the soldiers go to the city wall for defense, and all the scouts are released, I want to know the current news inside and outside Jingzhou City!" ”

"No!"

The lieutenant replied.

"General!!!

A fast horse galloped under the city gates.

After the scout jumped off the horse, he went up to the city gate, ran out of breath, and directly bowed his head and said: "Dangyang, Maicheng, there are a large number of soldiers and horses, our scouts went in to investigate, and they will never return!" ”

"What?"

When Zhang Ren heard this, he trembled, shook his body, and suddenly had a spiritual light, and there was an idea in his mind: "Could it be that the herdsman has rebelled!" ”
